Crikey, I watched with fascination thinking they would never show the internals and then they did. Simply amazing and 240 years old.

Watching this, which by the way is simply amazing, makes me realise, yet again, that we really have lost so much knowledge over the years.
I know things are developed all the time however an example would be the Pyramids, some parts of Astrology, Stonehenge, all things where we still do not know why or how they did it.

A lot of knowledge lost through raids on the UK from people like the Vikings!!!!!!!!!! See, it's all your fault lass!

Also the Dark Ages and religious stupidity ensured we stood still if not regressed for a VERY long time! Then of course we had various regimes who burned books and destroyed all sorts of scientific writings and their authors for that matter - much as they do now.

Of course it is my fault tongueout

Imagine where we could be now had it not been for all that nonsense of destroying things.
